The unique history surrounding Fort Amsterdam, a former colonial fort located at Abandze in the Central Region, has come to the forefront as GhanaWeb marks the celebration of Ghana Month.
According to Joseph Kofi Kakraba, the caretaker and tour guide at the fort, which is known for its rich history in the slave trade, the building had one unique pinhole that served as some sort of cameras at the entrance of the building.
In an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb's Etsey Atisu, he said that the purpose of that pinhole was to allow soldiers to secretly verify and determine whether individuals attempting to gain access to the fort were a threat to them or not.
Kofi Kakraba indicated that the hole, which was so tiny it could hardly be seen, was almost undetectable by those who would be waiting at the door to be granted access into the compound. "At the main entrance, you will wait till the door gets opened.
